rBejit knownthat I," lVlArrlanriV a citizenluo'flthe United-H Statespresiding at Council Grove, in the; countyotMorris and State-of Kansas, have "invented a new and e useful Burner, of whichthefollowingisfa speciication.` e, y i .i o

The device "formingther subject ,matter of this application is vaporstove,"and, one object of `theinventionis to` improve the burner,particularly, by providing` a novel but simjplemeans whereby superposed caps, which iforma partfo'fthe "burner, maybe held in lplacelremovablyf" Another obj ect of the invention is tolprovide .a burner wherein carbon :will not `accunlulate rapidly, `itbeing possible to take vdown the burnerreadily for cleaning. further objectief `the in-` vention is to provide a device ofwtlie;` class mentioned, wherein `the 'burner serves directly, asua'means for holdingein place,

In carrying out the invention, be provided frame lj, constructed :as `de sired. The frame l, as shown,includes a ring 2 to whichthe upper ends of legs Spare attached, the upper ends of the legs"` havf ing :sockets e; wherein the y lower enfleV of their@ i may n t i `55' are-mounted-and 1` secured; l Ad Jacent to their upper "ends, theistandards are foset, :as i shown at 6," and; are inwardly entended; to form y ngers: 7. i There may be `deslredl number of theystandards 5,11` but fhlte@ 'Willrfom an; adequate `suriekort for a spider y i 9,1having openbottomedf Ushaped seats 8,? wherein the ngers 7 arereceived. e i The invention includes a "receptacle 10 re# celved removably in the 1ring2 of `the frame `lmandi having van outstanding beade `11, which; coperating with the ring,fsupports the receptacle; An` air :pump-12,` oany del sired kind,"discliargesyintoythe receptaclelO,

j Referring to cneof the importanti proveniente inV the device forming the subject;` matter of this application, attention is directed to` burner including a -casingodenoted generally bythe numeral `()l and comprising` conical` body ,i ludingf a base @2 threaded the, truer end of: the

provided-with yinwardly extended'lugs 39 thattheflanges 41Yand 46 of the respective nipple 24 and engaging the upper end of the sleeve 26. VThe sleeve thus is bound and held between the base 32 of the burner and Y' burner is provided with a bowl 36 Ahavin an internal circumferential seat 38. There VareY elongated air inletl openings'37` in the i Vthe flange 22 ofthe pi-pe 20, no auxiliary nuts Ior likedevices being requiredY for holding thesleevefand, consequently, the de- Vilector 27 y'and the priming pan 28, in'l place.

'JA tip 34 is threaded at 35 intotherbase 32 and forms ya termination of the conduit which includes the pipe 2O and the'nipple l24. A At its upper end, the bodyV 31 of the ,body 31 below the bowl 36.` The bowl 36 is overl-ranging 1 the seat '38. Y

- The-burnerl includeslan inner inverted cup-shapedcap 40 having an outstanding flange41supported on 'and within the seat vi 38lbene`ath the lugs39',"the flange'having a notch`42, adapted to receive one ofthe lugs,

so'thatthecap can be removed at will from are bbwi se: ahead@ VWan ofthe inner @ap fflange46, supported on'theange41'of the innerc'a'p' 1.40 yandrentended beneath the lugs 39', the'ange46'havi'ng a notch 47, adapted to receive either olf the lugs.

1 Vlils'pe'cial* attention is directed to the fact caps 40 `fand 44 may be fplaced beneath' 4one of the lugs 39,*'the' other lug passing through the notches 42 vand547 when the anges are placed in thefseat 38. By rotating the caps, the/notches 42 and'47 may be moved from beneath either of the lugs, and thus both of thel lugs," overhanging the `flange A46V onV the fouter cap V44,-wfillserveto' hold'both caps reinovablyjin 'place Vwithin'- the bowl p An accidental detachment of the` caps 4 0 y:and 44 fronilthe .bowl 36, to'jthe inconvenience offthevoperatonfis not likely to occur.- The v burner, generallyconsidered, is .simplev in construction, and devoid of places where c'arbon' can` collect.' When ,the caps` 40. Yandh44 `'are removed,`the 'burner' is open'for -cleaning,fand' it isA toibe observed that this openiiip'ple'24 and the ing ofthe' burner vmaybe brought about I:without difficulty.

When pressure is created. within the receptacle 10' by the operation of the pump 12,the fluid fuel traverses thel pipe 20, the tip 34, and mixes, within the'body31 olf the burnenwith air admitted through the openings 37, the inner cap 40 securing@4 thoioug'hadmixture ef' gas `and air, before the/mixture entersvthe outer, cap u `44 by way ofthe opening 43', the mixture burning at the perforations 45 of the outer cap 44, the bowl 36 serving to direct the flame upwardly. At any time, the height of the flame may be decreased b retracting the valve 19, whereupon air wil flow from the receptacle 10 by wayof the vent 18, the tube 17 and the neck 15. When the vent 18 is closed by the valve 19, a stroke or two of the plunger of the pump 12 will restore ',orincrease the pressure within the receptacle 10, and thus increase the flow of fuel g through the pipe 20, raising the iame and increasing the heat.

When the-device is rst put into operation, it Vmay be found desirable to place a small quantity of fluid fuel,'such as wood alcohol or distillato, in the panv 28 and ignite the priming charge thus formed, in order to heat the burner and eifect a vaporization of the fuel proceeding from the receptacle 10 through the tip 34.

The deector 27, being interposed between the burner andthe receptacle 10, prevents the possibility of an overheating ot the receptacle and a consequent explosion.

N otches 100 may be formed in the upper edge of thel bowl 36. These notches are adapted to receive 'a Spanner wrench, used in threading the burner on the nipple 24, and in removing the burner therefrom. The notches, further, have another functiornin that they aid in admitting air into the bowl 36, and promote combustlon.

j I claim 1 A burner comprising a body having a base, and rovided at its upper end with a bowl,'the 1iiody being supplied with an air inlet, innerV and outer inverted cup-shaped capssupported in the bowl in spaced relation to each other, the outer cap beinv spaced from the inner surface of the bowl, tlie outer cap having side perforations, and the inner cap having an opening in its top, the interior of the inner cap being unencumbered, the inner cap communicating with the body throughout the entire cross section of the inner cap; and a tip carried by the base, the tip discharging directly into the inner cap.

2. A burner comprising a casing including va body having a base, and )rovided at its upper end with a bowl, the` owl being supplied with spaced overhanging lugs, the body having an opening; inner and outer inverted cup-shaped caps within the bowl, the caps having superposed flanges extended beneath the lugs and provided with notches for the reception of the lugs, the flange of the inner cap being supported on the bowl, and the outer cap having an imper- 'forate top, and being supplied with side perforations, there being an opening in the topl ofthe inner cap; and a tip carried by the base.

3;, A burner comprising a bowl having `an internal` shoulder; an inverted cup-shaped `as, my own, I have `hereto affixed my Signacap and a, ange supported on the' shoulder, ture 1n the presence of two Witnesses. 1 and lugs on the bowl, the lugs overhangng MANNIN GROSS. the ange, the ange having a notch for the Witnesses: t 5 passage of one lug. `MASON B.
